    A los tres años, Timmy fue el único testigo del asesinato de su padre. Solo él le vio la cara al culpable. Cinco años después todavía tiene pesadillas y recuerda con ansiedad los ojos azules y penetrantes del asesino; pero a su madre, Laurie, lo que más le atormenta es la amenaza que le hizo a su hijo: «Dile a tu madre que la próxima vez le tocará a ella y después a ti». Ahora otro crimen ocupa la vida de Laurie, aunque esta vez como productora de un programa de televisión sobre casos sin resolver. El primer episodio gira en torno al asesinato de Betsy Powell. Hace veinte años, Betsy fue asfixiada en su cama después de haber celebrado una gran fiesta en su casa por la graduación de su hija. Los que estuvieron presentes esa noche han aceptado participar en el programa y en la reconstrucción del crimen, pero desde el inicio de la grabación resulta evidente que cada uno esconde más de un secreto. Además, aunque Laurie aún no lo sepa, una persona de afilados ojos azules está observándolo todo muy de cerca. Un revelador ejemplo del poder de la televisión de la mano de la inimitable reina del suspense.

    Television producer Laurie Moran is elated when the pilot for her reality drama Under Suspicionis a success. Even more, the program - a cold case series that revisits unsolved crimes by recreating them with those affected - is off to a fantastic start when it helps solve an infamous murder in the very first episode. Now Laurie has the ideal case to feature in the next instalment of Under Suspicion: the Cinderella Murder. When Susan Dempsey, a beautiful and multi-talented UCLA student, was found dead, her murder left numerous questions. Why was her car parked miles from her body? Had she ever shown up for the acting audition she was due to attend at the home of an up-and-coming director? Why does Susan's boyfriend want to avoid questions about their relationship? And why was Susan missing one of her shoes when her body was discovered? With the help of lawyer and Under Suspicionhost Alex Buckley, Laurie knows the case will make a great program, especially when the former suspects include Hollywood's elite and tech billionaires. The suspense and drama are perfect for the silver screen - but is Cinderella's murderer ready for a close-up?

    Laurie Moran's professional life is a success. Her television show Under Suspicion is a hit, both in the ratings and its record of solving cold cases. But her romantic break from former host Alex Buckley has left her with on-air talent she can't stand -- Ryan Nichols -- and a sense of loneliness, despite her loving family. Now Ryan has suggested a new case. Three years ago, Virginia Wakeling, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was found dead in the snow after being thrown from the museum's roof on the night of its most celebrated fundraiser, the Met Gala. The leading suspect then and now is her much younger boyfriend and personal trainer, Ivan Gray. Ivan runs a trendy, successful boutique gym called Punch -- a business funded in no small part by the late Virginia -- which happens to be the gym Ryan frequents. Laurie's skepticism about the case is upended by a tip from her father's NYPD connection, and soon Laurie realizes there are a bevy of suspects, including members of Virginia's trusted inner circle. As the Under Suspicion crew pries into the lives of a super wealthy real estate family with secrets to hide, danger mounts for several witnesses -- and for Laurie
